To me, meditate means to go into a state, where observation of truth is clearer, but we are already in that state, we are constantly observing the clear and pure state. You don't need to go to the forrest or the mountains to meditate. Sure it may feel more peaceful, but to me meditating is observing, so simply looking to your present moment awareness, wether in a big noisy crowd or a peaceful forest setting is actually meditative.

Can positive emotions, such as appreciation (of what consciousness has created) or creative visualization have any positive effect on creation? Or does all emoting slow down the manifestation process?

The true state of creation is neutral, it doesn't require happy or sad emotions to create. Consciousness isn't emotive, emotion, like thought is output, not creative. Now you might say that happy thoughts about getting something into your life will speed up the manifestation process, but I don't believe that.
Thoughts validate, emotions validate and they are helpful to validate choice, so using them is a good thing, but do we strictly need to to create? I don't believe so and as the awareness of conscious choice power increases, we can negate them fully within the creative process.

Also, on a separate issue, if I (consiousness) create it all and everyone is me then I have the power to create things in the experience of others, good or bad, correct?
|
Correct, but remember, strictly speaking there are no others, there are other bodies, but there is only one consciousness, so consciousness is only ever dealing and interacting with itself. It's not that difficult to get others to work will you and also against you, it's the one thing and it's all connected. Look to your life and you'll see that you are already influencing others via consciousness, we just don't see it very well, because we strongly identify with out human bodies.
Actually I have to thank you, for consciousness loves self improvement
